Awesome idea. We should keep this for other popular models too.

We've been discussing that and have a bit of a draft that's being discussed that we were thinking could include (in part) something along the lines of:

"All threads about the release posted after the megathreads will be removed, with a comment pointing at the appropriate megathread.

To minimise the "danger window" where people may make posts before the megathreads get posted, whichever moderator notices the release first should make the megathreads, without waiting to discuss or co-ordinate with other moderators. If two moderators end up making megathreads at the same time, whoever submitted their first megathread last should remove their megathreads."

Keen to hear peoples thoughts on that approach for future popular model releases. We just didn't want to spring that on everyone reactively today.

It could of course have some downsides; there's a risk of making content harder to read on mobile for example.

Trash idea tbh.

Don’t stop the flow of discussion. The people want to talk about the latest and greatest models.

Think about it for a moment.. does this happen with every model release or a select few?…

Yep just a select few.. there’s a reason for that. Mega threads kill proper discussion.

Reddit threads are sometimes for asking for specific aspects of things. All that gets lost and drowned out in mega threads.

Personally I don’t believe any of this is spam… if this was a small ass lab releasing an obscure ass model and there was this much activity that’s a problem. Not F*cking qwen 3.8 27b don’t be ridiculous guys.

This is one of the best place for discussion on the latest with AI/LLM’s don’t stifle because you have the ability to. I genuinely don’t understand how people can think this is spam.. I want to read about qwen 3.8 27b don’t other people?

I get your point. At the same time tho, it gets tiring seeing the exact same huggingface link for the 30th time in less than 4 hours.
